Full Moon in Libra/Aries
April 12 @ 5:22 PM PDT
23* of Libra/Aries
Balance Restored, Hearts Reopened
On April 12th, we’re gifted a powerful Full Moon in Libra at 23°, and what makes this lunation extra potent is that Venus stations direct at 23° Pisces on the very same day. This moment feels like a cosmic release — of confusion, of delay, and of emotional tension that’s been building over the last several weeks, especially in relationships.
Libra governs partnerships, harmony, justice, and equilibrium, and this Full Moon shines a spotlight on where things have been out of balance — whether in romantic unions, business alliances, or even within your own internal yin and yang. The Moon’s light calls for recalibration, especially after the retrograde fog of both Mercury and Venus moving backward in the fire of Aries.
With Venus in Pisces now slowly turning direct at the exact same degree this Full Moon peaks, emotional clarity returns. Something beautiful that’s been lingering in the dream world — a connection, a creative vision, or even a spiritual longing — may finally begin to crystallize into reality. What was uncertain now has form. What was delayed now begins to move forward.
Key Aspects:
- 🌕 Full Moon at 23° Libra – Culmination of intentions set six months ago at the Libra New Moon.
- 💫 Venus stations direct at 23° Pisces – Ending a retrograde that had us reviewing love, money, and values.
- 🌬️ Air meets Water – Libra’s need for mental connection meets Pisces’ emotional depth.
- 🌓 The Moon opposes the Sun in Aries, highlighting the tension between self and other, independence vs union.
Cosmic Bonus: This Full Moon is part of a broader story that’s unfolding in April — with Mercury stationing direct April 7, Mars trine Neptune, Saturn sextile Uranus, and the New Moon in Taurus on April 27. Things that felt stalled are finding new flow. Let the healing begin here — and let beauty guide you forward.
And…Remember….Full Moons always bring emotions to the surface, so heads up, this is going to be an emotionally charged few days, especially in terms of relationships! As you know, we are LIVING IN a challenging, changing world, and so often it is the ones we love most we hurt the most!
With this as a back drop,the Full Moon in Libra is seeking to BALANCE our own needs with the requirements and requests of others. Aries represents independence and leadership, and this energy can be raw, demanding, or abrasive. Libra is about equality, harmony, balance, peace, justice and partnership! When these two signs are in opposition, the energy asks us to integrate our individual unique pioneering self, with that of our partners and collaborators. Now more than ever is about learning how to do both….. Keeping some degree of freedom, self expression, and authenticity, while being sensitive to the needs and desires of our partners!! Compromise and Win Win are the solution! Find the courage to be authentic and ask for what you need, while still being a supportive partner!
This is a New Paradigm we are in… let’s create from Love, Compassion, Balance and Possibility!!!
In reviewing imbalances, problems, or issues, take a look at yourself first.
*Is your environment healthy and functioning, with space for work, play,and relaxing?
*Are you starting the day with a peaceful meditation and connection to Spirit?
*What are you grateful for? One thing!
*Are you willing to compromise?
*Are you eating healthy nutritious food….not sugar and junk?
*If you live alone, are you making calls to check in?
Taking care of your own needs will enable you to better tend to others. We don’t know what will be required of us, so being calm, balanced, and prepared will go a long way in answering the call….whatever it is!
And with Venus stationing direct, reviewing challenges in your relationships...
* Am I happy, empowered, and free in this partnership?
*Can I be authentic and reveal my unique self?
*Is this relationship abusive or restrictive?
*Is it worth staying in? If so, how can we negotiate a win win for us both?
*How can I be a better partner?
Take time to be with these questions….meditate or journal for inner guidance!!
Much will be revealed during this FM energy….so be prepared to LISTEN IN! Hidden details and agendas will come to the surface, so be prepared to find buried truths!
